Talk:Primary Mathematics

Welcome to the Primary Mathematics talk page! Ask questions, make suggestions, plan and write.

I look forward to editing this book extensively
There are never enough good, readable books about mathematics for self-learners, so this is a very worthwhile Wikibooks project. I'll try to draw on as many good public-domain books as I can as I revise this book in collaboration with other editors. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 00:09, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

I recently stumbled upon this part of the Wikimedia project and decided to begin contributing in what ways I could. I would love to collaborate with who ever else is working on this book. Please let me know how I can assist in the completion of this math book, thanks! Sheppard (talk)


 * Hi Sheppard, welcome to wikibooks. I am glad to see someone is interested in the book, I am not sure of anyone that has been particularly active on it lately so you might have to be bold and add anything you feel is missing.  One suggestion, if you wanted to start with some small (but unfortunately tedious) editing would be to add page navigation templates, to see different styles of how this is done you can glance at Linear Algebra, High School Trigonometry, High School Mathematics Extensions, or Formal Logic.  This will give you a chance to look through the book and get used to its style.  Or if you prefer you can jump right in adding content.  Feel free to ask me questions as you go. I would be glad to offer advice, thoughts, a helping hand, etc. Thenub314 (talk) 05:11, 27 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Whew, just finished the navigation templates and I'm going to take a break from editing for tonight. I guess I'll have to break out my old math books and take a look at how thorough the book is; I did notice a few pages that are marked as stubs.  Also, a few pages need to be reviewed.  I apologize if this is easily explained elsewhere, but if its something you could do, or if someone you know could do that sometime soon, that would be appreciated.  And, of course, any further suggestions are appreciated. Thanks! Sheppard (talk) 04:59, 3 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Great Job. Well done. Thenub314 (talk) 15:47, 3 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, seeing as there is a Wikiversity project aimed at aiding teachers with this subject, I feel like this book should be rewritten as a tool for self-learning, cross-referenced with the Wikiversity project, which seems to focus on the fundamentals of teaching to others.

 * A fine idea, perhaps we could add a paragraph explaining the difference in aims of this book and the Wikiversity project, to help on cutting down the duplication? Thenub314 (talk) 15:47, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
